Hoping for Duke and Baylor losses today to help us out with the quest for a 3 seed. And also because Duke is Duke.

Just noticed that Iowa students start spring break this weekend. Their students will probably be gone or in Minneapolis watching the girls team.

Maybe all the Iowa fans will go to Minneapolis so the Illini Crush can do a stealth visit. I heard a lot of Illini cheers on TV at the Wisconsin game. It would be great to do the same in Iowa city.

Orange Krush makes surprise trip to Ann Arbor for Illinois game

This is why they’re the best.

My first time watching NC State. They have an absolute moose of a man who is playing inspired ball. 15 of their 26 now. He reminds me of a poor man's(and larger man's) Dain.

Conference tournaments start tonight, with the A-Sun kicking it off with 2 opening round games.

He's not as talented as Dain but he stays more under control. If Dain could figure out he doesn't have to spin around at break speed every time he would be so much more affective. He doesn't really use his bulk to the advantage that he could.

Dain needs to learn to not dribble once he receives the ball. Work hard to get position and then use great footwork without dribbling

Both lower seeds won on the road in the opening round of the ASUN conference tournament as Jacksonville defeated Kennesaw State and Queens University defeated Florida Gulf Coast. Other conference tournaments starting this week include the OVC, Big South, Missouri Valley, Sun Belt, SoCon, Horizon League, NEC, CAA, WCC, Summit League, and Patriot League.

#11 Baylor in trouble at home down 8 at halftime to Texas. Another chance for Illinois to move up. Purdue at home on Senior night and finishing up at Iowa with its students on spring break to close out the Big Ten season on Sunday. Could be something special brewing for the orange and blue this week.

Beat Purdue, the door remains open for a #3. Lose and it's the 4/13 game.

Baylor doesn't look good at all this evening. Our favorite PG having yet another rough night.

Go Texas

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Losing Disu is a major problem for Texas.

 

[NarrowJ]

Go Texas

Texas letting them back into it.

Also, I think every time I dawg on RayJ in the "Games" thread he scores like 6 quick points and dishes out a couple assists.

 

[the national]

Baylor wins.

I know NIT auto-bids aren't really a thing anymore but non-P5 conference regular season champs getting knocked out in their conference tournaments is still worth tracking.

#1 seed Eastern Kentucky was upset in the ASUN Quarterfinals tonight by #10 seed Jacksonville 67-65. They'll travel to 2 seed Stetson on Thursday night.
